While i was checking the SX4 manual i found that ZDi variant is provided with ashtray and cigrette lighter.We asked the dealer to give them .But he said that SX4 does'nt comes with ashtray and lighter.

So,please tell me whether ZDi variant comes with ashtray and lighter and also tell about other accessories with the dealer should give.

The lighter socket is very handy for accessories like pumps, car fridges, mobile chargers, GPS and the lot.Given the trends of no smoking, you often get a 12V socket (10A typical) without the lighter. Multiple sockets (incl. one in the boot) are becoming common. I had hired a Manza to go to Agra and there was a socket on the rear parcel shelf. Very handy.

The ashtray is handy for putting toffee wrappers and the like until you get a chance to dispose them properly. I do not like to litter.

I don't use cigarette lighter socket for charging anything after a wallet lightening episode.I plugged a mobile charger purchased from Spice mobile Shop into cigarette lighter socket and voila - the socket comes out and I paid Rs 1400 to replace - now its just a show piece.

The removable Ashtray - I use it to keep loose change in it - quite Handy.

@ankur - is the car's interior quality improved compared to old SX4 or is it same.Does the car feel light or heavy to maneuver compared to Petrol model?

Plastic quality is not very good.Diesel SX4's are heavier in weight than Sx4 petrol's but riding quality is excellent.

Congrats on your new car. It is a highly accomplished car with good space and a great mileage with the superb Maruti A.S.S. Also, what are your mileage figures and how would you rate the petrol version with the diesel one in terms of driving pleasure ,refinement, maintenance and other costs and the lesser features.

It is a great car at this price tag and wish you happy and joyful motoring.

@ ankur: Does the music system come standard in all versions. How many pre-outs does it have.

I have a Swift Dzire at the moment, want to upgrade to an SX4. But after driving the SX4 I felt the handling in the Swift is a notch above as compared to the SX4, what do you think about its handling? Please share your views regarding braking at high speeds? Is it stable? Also i felt the suspension was very stiff.

Yes both VXi/VDi & ZXi/ZDi SX4 comes with factory fitted integrated Music system with 4 speakers.

Swift is a better handler because its having lower centre of gravity which aids it in Handling, whereas SX4 being an Crossover based is having relatively higher centre of gravity, hence is having l'll bit wallowy handling at high speeds.
